The original XV-1 cartridge was designed to take the reproduction of analogue
recording to new heights. The XV-1 achieved a standard of performance that was
clearly in a league of its own. Dynavector have always remained indifferent to
the endless digital formats that proport to be the next breakthrough in music
reproduction, safe in the knowledge that the vast heritage of music recorded on
vinyl can easily equal, if not clearly out perform these new formats. Dynavector
are seriously committed to ensure the vinyl enthusiast is well catered for and
the XV-1s is further proof of this on going commitment; yet another ground
breaking product, uniquely Dynavector and flagship of the brilliant Dynavector
cartridge range.
At a glance, the XV-1 was always different from all cartridges that have gone
before. Its magnetic circuit comprises 8 small ALNICO magnets. The magnetic path
is divided into two - In the magnetic gap, a specially designed magnetic flux
equalizing piece is placed. On the front yokes, magnetic stabilizing coils are
wound. By this special combination, the magnetic field becomes widely
homogeneous and more linear than the conventional magnetic design that is common
in existing MC cartridges.
The XV-1 has been awarded 'Golden Ear Award 2001' in the Absolute Sound magazine
for its highly advanced technology.
Dynavector continue to research and have pushed the boundary further with the
NEW XV-1s. Although the specifications remain the same a significant up upgrade
in both magnetic and body parts achieve a startling improvement in imaging,
along with a smooth as silk extension over the entire frequency range.
Principal Improvements
The XV-1s is the latest evolution of Dynavector design and features the advanced
multi magnet design that stabilizes the magnetic flux density between the front
yoke and the equalizer component, around the air gap.
The XV-1s also features a revolutionary square shaped front aperture with a
matching square shaped armature this enables the moving coil wound armature to
move in an equalized and stable magnetic flux. Although slightly smaller in
dimension the front yoke aperture is also square shape to match the armature
along with a square shaped counterbore to the equalizer component part
The material used to stabilize the magnets is African ebony wood. It contributes
to the best balance to the sound character.
